Abstract: A curtain system is described which includes a curtain having a plurality of rod engaging members attached thereto, a plurality of rods each having a first end, and a curtain release mechanism attached to the rod at the first end thereof. The rod engaging members each includes a stem having a first end and a second end and a yoke extending from the first end of the stem. The curtain release mechanisms have a slot formed therein and extending therethrough and also include a user operable mechanism for retention of the yoke upon insertion into the slot. The user operable mechanism is further operable for substantially simultaneous release of the yokes and therefore the curtain from the curtain release mechanisms.

Abstract: A curtain system is described that includes a curtain having a plurality of rod engaging members attached at an end thereof. The plurality of rods each have a curtain release mechanism attached thereto where the rod engaging members are configured to engage respective curtain release mechanisms. The curtain release mechanisms each include a user operable mechanism for retention of and subsequent substantially simultaneous release of the rod engaging members from the curtain release mechanisms.

Abstract: An intravenous catheter is described that includes a catheter assembly having an end portion configured for insertion into the bloodstream of a patient to deliver intravenous liquids, a valve configured to temporarily interrupt a flow of intravenous fluid into the blood stream, and an electro-chemical sampling device located near the end portion.

Abstract: A shelving apparatus is disclosed which includes a mounting frame configured for attachment to a surface and a plurality of holding shelves.
